HDAV Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Rob what's the procedure if you want to try a gun out? Thinking of going, couple of guns I would like to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Just go into the Avalon marquee/tent/shop or gun makers stands, ask to try a ******* *** and go out to one of the Have a Go Stands on Instructors row or the Shootinguk stand next to the Avalon Marquee/tent and try it out. You do have to pay about £2/3 for clays and cartridges though but its worth it. Bring plenty of cash because you will want to try just about everything, I know I always do.

COACH Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I`v been down to help set up the shoot today, your going to love it. Wear your shorts though its going to be Bloo** hot this weekend down there. It was 28 degrees today and the forecast is even hotter. Make sure you bring some water to carry with you. Refreshments are available but your going to need a drink on the way round the shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hi coach did pop along but your stand was full the whole time.... Wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Not you as well. I`v had loads of people say that this evening on the forums. Next time just come and butt in quick between customers/punters and say a quick hello. Yes I`m always busy at events like this, its a job to cope to be honest. But everyone goes away with a massive grin so I`m always happy....but absolutely knack**** by the end of the day. If your going to Blenheim Palace (CLA game fair) on the 22nd-24th July, I will be there on the Sporting gun /Shooting Times /Shootinguk stand, please come and say hello. Anybody can come and say hello, it nice to put a face and voice to a name. Well, I`v enjoyed this weekend tremendously but I`ll be glad to see my bed in short while, boy am I going to sleep well tonight. I would also like to add a massive big THANKS to my brother Ray for helping me out, I could not of done it with out you mate.

HDAV Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I was with a friend looking for a gun so we shot the 2 stands down the the hill (with a couple of guns) at the time you had your hands full with a group of shall we say "more mature" shooters trying out a 12 bore beretta. Doubt I'll make the CLA but might bump into you somewhere else round south west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
